Wow. For post number 700, last one of November, I've got a proper daily painting that I am really proud of! the slightly off-kilter composition, the wonderful feeling of light, the mostly subdued colors that really make the flower pop.... not to mention the fact that I painted it with a sleeping infant on my lap :)

And, it's Monday. Baby is happily kicking and gurgling in her bouncy seat beside me, and while I'm not actually feeling coherent yet, it's a lot closer :) Pretty old keys on pink.... have to wonder just how secure those old locks were, with the keys being this simple. Of course you can get through a lot of locks with a credit card now, so I don't guess we've come but so far.

Yep, looking forward to getting some sleep tonight! It was just the Durham Art Walk today, not both shows- lots of fun, lots of wonderful people. I'll have to post links once my brain starts working again.

Ah, me and my sweet tooth... taking a step back here for a little while, it's going to be mostly a sketch a day instead of a proper painting. The Teacup Human is taking up a lot of time, yes, and I seem to want to spend every waking moment attached to her, but I also want to put some time and thought into how to ensure that absolutely every piece I make available is as high quality as it can be, you know? Hopefully that makes sense. The aforesaid Teacup Human is screaming in my ear tight now, and it's a little hard to think :-/

And a little farther along, with more light. Pretty.... so glad that we can still get flowers after they quit blooming in our yards, you know?

Baby Naomi is one month old today, which totally blows my mind. It doesn't seem like nearly that long, and as fast as she's grown it seems like it must have been longer. But I guess that feeling never really goes away, huh?

Just a doodle... I seem to be drinking a lot of this stuff lately, and I liked the whole idea, overhead view of something round and two stripes, like on Persimmon and Stripes a little while back, you know?

It's that time of year... when you start picking things like tomatoes before they're all the way ripe, because otherwise the frost might get them :-/ Oh, well, that's probably where fried green tomatoes came from, and they're a good thing! Now where on earth do you suppose we got the idea for fried pickles?

Continuation from Monday... just loved it so much I had to do a repeat, you know? I think they'd actually make a really pretty set hung together, even though they're oriented differently... I dunno, is that a bad thing at all?

November... wow, the year is gone before you know it, isn't it? I wish I could make it all slow down, but no such luck :) Golden autumn-ey pear here, bright and touchable. I do love painting these things, something about the shape, I suppose....
